The City of Arlington is requesting Statements of Qualifications for Architectural Design of the Public Works South Field Operations Facility and Water Department Operations Facility under RFQ 26-0214, with qualifications due July 2, 2026 at 2:00 p.m., a mandatory site visit scheduled for June 8, 2026 at 2:30 p.m., and questions due June 16, 2026 at 5:00 p.m.

The scope encompasses design and construction documents for a 13,000-square-foot Public Works office facility to accommodate approximately 75 field personnel; approximately 70,000 square feet of support space including employee and heavy equipment parking, materials storage, equipment maintenance areas, and a stormwater vactor truck shelter; and a new Water Department Operations Facility with an 18-bay vehicle garage (100 feet by 260 feet), office space with 10 offices, conference room, kitchen, and attached bathrooms, located at 1100 Green Oaks Boulevard. The project spans five phases: Preliminary Design with options for separate or combined buildings, New Public Works Facility Design, Stormwater Best Management Practices Design, Existing Materials Storage Yard and Parking Site Improvements, and Demolition and New Water Department Operations Building if separate. Respondents must propose qualified architectural and engineering teams with demonstrated experience on similar projects completed within the last five years; provide resumes and organizational charts identifying key personnel and subcontractors; and limit written qualifications to 25 pages excluding cover sheets and graphics. The City will provide relevant reports and studies; consultants must furnish all required labor, materials, supplies, and travel and provide probable construction costs for each phase.

The selection committee will evaluate qualifications on a 100-point scale: previous experience on similar projects (30 points), proposed approach to the work (20 points), composition and qualifications of the project team (20 points), demonstrated ability to perform within required schedules (15 points), and completeness of response including client references and claims history (15 points). The City will select up to three prospective consultants for possible interviews, with final selection followed by contract execution through the Arlington City Attorney's Office. No changes to key personnel or subcontractors are permitted without express written City consent. A pre-qualification meeting is scheduled for June 8, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. at City Hall. All submissions must be made electronically through Euna Procurement or in sealed paper format; late proposals will not be accepted.
